8 SET POINT INDICATORS
8.1 General Information
Set points are useful for tolerance checking (pass/fail). Two limits, high and low, are specified and stored
in the non-volatile memory of the instrument and the primary reading is compared to these limits.
8.2 Configuration
To configure set points, select Set Points from the menu. The screen will appear as follows:
Either one, two, or none of the set points may be enabled. To toggle between the tension and
compression directions, press the DIRECTION key.
If two set points have been enabled, they are displayed in the upper left corner of the display. If only one
set point has been enabled, the word
“OFF” will appear in place of the value. If no set points have been
enabled, the upper left corner of the display will be blank.
When set points are enabled, the following indicators are shown to the left of the primary reading:
– the displayed value is greater than the upper
force limit (NO GO HIGH)
– the displayed value is between the limits (GO)
– the displayed value is less than the lower force
limit (NO GO LOW)
